Villas em Beijing, China

Great apartment. Everything you need is there already, like soap, toothbrush, toilet paper etc, but there is also everything you need to do some simple cooking- very useful! The location was perfect, a 10 minute walk to taxi drop off (the whole town is pedestrianised) and about 5 minutes to Simatai Great Wall ticket entrance and the entrance to Gubei water town attraction. Good restaurants about 5 minutes away too and they are cheap. The apartment is cosy and there are 3 balconies to choose from if you want to relax in the sun! This would also be a very safe and comfortable place to stay with young children. I was very happy that the host also provided a lot of drinking water. It's useful to know that the apartment is inside a bigger apartment complex, just enter through the first gate as you approach from the town and maybe add the host on WeChat before you arrive so you can communicate easily. There are lots of small shops selling food and drinks nearby. The back balcony has a dreamy view of the Great Wall. Enjoy!

Extremely satisfied with our stay. The villa is on the ground floor, which was super convenient with a parking spot right outside. Plus, there's a State Grid charging station less than 100 meters away. It was perfect for our family of five with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of the bedrooms even had a tatami mat, and both beds could be pushed together! The owner, a very genuine Inner Mongolian, was incredibly kind. He immediately gave us a large bottle of mineral water, recommended restaurants, suggested tour routes and timings, and even helped us book breakfast. The service felt like it deserved 120 points, I highly recommend staying here! Turning left out of the villa, the entrance to Gubei Water Town is closer than walking to the small park across the street from my house!

Oh dear, I came with high expectations to experience your establishment's ”Japanese Garden,” and what an eye-opener it was! The ”utterly faithful” recreation is simply astonishing – the serene dry landscape and exquisite stone lanterns pictured in the photos were, in reality, just a few weathered, broken chairs standing forlornly, embodying a profound ”wabi-sabi” aesthetic! Ah, this minimalist beauty, I finally understand; it's simply that we common folk lack the refined taste to appreciate it. The bathroom experience was even more ”Zen-like”! The showerhead delivered water in a mere trickle, and the hot water was exceedingly tardy, requiring guests to wait patiently with a devout heart. Craving a truly refreshing shower? Don't rush; this is the owner's meticulously designed ”slow living” segment, allowing you to contemplate life amidst the sound of dripping water. As for bottled mineral water? Oh, for a ”high-end” establishment like yours, advocating for environmental protection, bringing your own reusable water bottle is clearly the correct approach! Mosquitoes? Those are merely proof of the garden's ecological friendliness, a complimentary ”natural spa” – why spoil the fun by mentioning them? The most ”splendid” part, however, was browsing the owner's replies! Wow! What a master of debate, churning out witty remarks one after another! Their attitude towards negative reviews was even tougher than our ”wabi-sabi” chairs! After reading the owner's eloquent responses, I instantly realized that low water pressure in the shower was no longer an issue, as the ”high-pressure” impact on one's psyche is far greater! This service attitude truly makes one feel ”at home” – specifically, making you eager to rush back home. The 300+ price tag was unremarkable, so I'll give it a 3-star rating, just to make a point.

Live in a very comfortable homestay! Last time I lived in Jingxinju, there was a restaurant downstairs, and it was very convenient to eat. This time, I brought the elderly to the Osmanthus building, which has a wide view and is very quiet at night!

Our stayed was great. Xiaowang was really helpful before and during our arrival through WeChat. They helped us with the passport and area registration through their phones, as our did not have Chinese characters keyboard. The apartment is clean, comfortable and really spacious. We got the cat theme apartment and the little ones really liked it. The only drawback is that is at the top of the road, thus an 8 min walk to the main road. From there is only 2 min to the entrance of Gubei town.

The rooms were beautifully decorated. What really stood out was the guesthouse's complimentary pre-booked shuttle service. This was a huge plus because parking at all the local tourist attractions is paid, and with so many visitors and vehicles around, finding a free spot is virtually impossible. What's more, their shuttle isn't one of those large, crowded vans where everyone is packed in; instead, it's a private car service, exclusively for one family or party at a time. The staff were all incredibly helpful. The restaurant they recommended through their group chat was also fantastic. We arrived in the evening and went straight to the restaurant. The grilled skewers were absolutely delicious – truly expertly prepared! We visited the scenic spots on our second day, and on our third day, we even went back to the same restaurant for lunch to have more skewers, haha! We didn't head home until after we'd finished our meal. This guesthouse is indeed excellent, and we'll definitely book it again on our next visit!

The room is spacious, a duplex with two floors. There's a minibus shuttle service to and from the hotel. The service is excellent; they respond promptly and resolve any needs quickly. It's great value for money. Takeout is delivered directly to your door. A fantastic stay experience; highly recommended. (Authorized review)

The room is clean and the location is good. It is right at the entrance of the water town and overlooks the night view of the water town.

The boss is very enthusiastic. After traveling for many days, I felt very close to hearing his Beijing accent. Because we checked in late, he helped us put the hot spring water in advance and told us where to buy dinner and where to park. In short, he thought of everything for us. The room is warmly decorated and the children like it very much. There is a small courtyard and a terrace. At night, the drone show, the night view of the Great Wall, and the night view of the ancient town are all under your sight. In short, it is very worthwhile!

The room was spacious, but one door lock was broken and wouldn't close. The towels and sheets were white but very worn. It was a great value, and there were no burglars during the holidays. It's close to the water town, and a little better sanitation would have made it perfect.
